Fri, 27 Apr 2018 00:26:43 +0000http://thinkbistro.com/?p=97Jim Larkin, who is also known as James Larkin, is known as an Irish labor organizer and activist. Mr. Larkin founded the Irish Transport and General Worker’s Union, in which became the district’s largest union. Jim Larkin was born on January 21st, 1876 in Liverpool, England and unfortunately, past on January 30th, 1947 in Dublin, Ireland. Before Jim’s ITGWU establishment, he had very little traditional form of education as he grew up in a hovel area in Liverpool, England. Throughout his youth, Jim worked very hard as he worked several jobs to help supplement the income for his family. As he worked several jobs, to then working as a foreman at the Liverpool docks, he realized that the workers were not treated fairly. That is where he then became a full-time trader union organizer with National Union of Dock Laborers during 1905.

Mr Larkin, who was born to Irish parents, believed wholeheartedly in his phrase, “A fair day’s work for a fair day’s pay,” as he fought to get workers a more fair condition in the work field and that is where his full-time trade union job came about. The National Union of Dock Laborers did not approve of his standings so they decided to transport him to Dublin in 1907, where he then discovered his ITGWU establishment. Mr. Larkin’s main goal was for all Irish industrial workers to belong to one union that would benefit them for all of their welfare, either skilled or unskilled. Soon after that in 1908, that is when he outlined that their will be legal work for an eight hours a day for all unemployed and all workers at 60 years of age would be able to receive pensions.

After some years of forming the Irish Labor Party with James Connolly in 1912 and formed a series of strikes, over 100,000 had went on strike for more than a half of the year, in which they end up winning the rights to fair employment. These strikes and standings that Mr. Larkin strongly believed in was not the purpose of conducting violence but more so provided equality.

Mon, 19 Mar 2018 04:21:57 +0000http://thinkbistro.com/?p=88Doe Deere was recently featured in an outstanding article that can be found on Inspirely.com. The article followed the growth of her company, Lime Crime. Lime Crime is a highly unique makeup line that features eyeshadows, lipsticks, hair color, highlighters and more. The brand prides itself on having a look and style that feels like something magical, or something out of a fairy tale. In fact, Doe Deere chose the name Lime Crime because it reminded her of something you might read in a fairy tale. She has always been a fans of all things relating to fairy tales and loved how the name rhymed, similar to fairy tales that typically have rhyming for no reason. She states in the article that one of her favorite – and one of the most popular – shades of lipstick is called Airborne Unicorn, which is another great rhyme.

Doe Deere looks like something out of a fairytale. She can often be seen with colorful dyed hair in the brightest and most bold shades and lipstick to match. She has completely porcelain skin that she paints with bright colors and sparkly highlighters. In the article she can be seen in a gorgeous picture with bright blue hair and her signature bold, red lip. She is holding a doll that replicates her exact look. She is absolutely stunning and looks a bit doll-like herself.

I learned a lot about Doe Deere and Lime Crime from the article. For example, I had no idea that the company was originally meant to sell clothing. I also learned that when Lime Crime was launched, Doe Deere was studying to be a fashion designer. She questioned if it was her true calling in life and felt like something was simply missing from her career. She started making her own makeup for personal use and quickly found out that women everywhere adored her look and wanted to purchase similar products.

She began selling lipsticks on an eBay store. Her items were very popular and were soon selling faster than she could make them. This was the moment that Lime Crime became a true business and she launched a full e-commerce website and began to put a team together to she could put out a higher volume of products.

Lime Crime quickly became a success. Throughout the company’s growth Doe Deere never strayed from her company mission to use only the highest quality products and to ensure that everything she put out was vegan and that nothing was ever tested on animals. She has never strayed from this mission. In fact, Lime Crime is approved by PETA and the Leaping Bunny Association to this day. She grew the brand to offer eyeshadows, highlighters and more.

In the article, she says that her biggest obstacle was to choose a lab that aligned with her values and mission for Lime Crime. She said she never wanted to stray from her key values and she never has. She eventually found the lab with chemists who understood the mission of Lime Crime and is now putting out more beauty products than ever.

Luiz Carlos Trabuco’ s term had been prolonged because the required age of the President for Banco Bradesco which was less than 65 has been increased to less than 67 years of age during September 2016.

He became a Department Director in 1984, he was selected as a Managing Officer in 1998, elected as an Executive Vice President in 1999, and in 2009 he was designated as the bank’s President.

During Luiz Carlos Trabuco’s term as president of Banco Bradesco, the bank has doubled with a market share of 25%. And this was because of his effort s in the acquisition of HSBC Brasil in 2015. His years in the bank have served the institution well, and it is a legacy that Octavio De Lazari Junior intends to follow through within his term.

Fri, 17 Nov 2017 16:29:54 +0000http://thinkbistro.com/?p=70Luiz Carlos Trabuco, the inveterate CEO of Grupo Bradesco, has announced that he will soon step down from that role to replace the outgoing chairman, Lazaro Brandao, as the head of the company’s board of directors. This comes after nearly nine years at the helm of the firm, through a period of time in which the company was able to complete the largest acquisition in Brazilian business history. The 2015 acquisition of HSBC Brazil, for $5.2 billion in cash, marked a high point in the lifetimes of both Trabuco and Bradesco. Today, with the stock price currently soaring, Trabuco can say that he left the bank in better shape than he found it.

A lifetime in banking

Luiz Carlos Trabuco was born in the town of Marilia, Sao Paulo, in 1951. Grupo Bradesco had been founded there just 8 years before, being little more than a one-branch thrift institution. After Trabuco graduated high school, he had aspirations of attending college. But the banker did not have sufficient money to attend. He therefore made the decision to first find a job, save up enough money for college and thereafter pursue his real goals.

But it so happened that the first help-wanted sign he encountered was that of a local Bradesco branch. He interviewed and was surprised to be hired on the spot. The year was 1969.

Over the course of the next decade, Trabuco proved to be a highly capable employee, winning the admiration of his bosses and consistently scoring promotions. Throughout the 1970s, he was able to put himself through night school, all while continuing to work for the bank full time. By 1980, Trabuco had attained both a bachelor’s degree in business administration as well as a master’s degree in social psychology. By that time, he was a regional manager for a bank that had quickly expanded from a local concern into a major regional force in the Sao Paulo area and received Entrepreneur of the Year.

In 1984, Trabuco was offered his first executive role. He headed up the bank’s marketing department, where he immediately began making changes to the way things were done. Forging strong relationships with key players in the local markets where the bank was doing business, Trabuco was able to dramatically improve the bank’s public image, which had suffered considerably under previous PR managers.

One of the first things Trabuco did was to begin involving the bank and its staff in high-profile volunteering missions and charity events, attaching the Bradesco name to things like Christmas charity drives and local efforts to help the homeless, a major problem in Brazil. By the late 1980s, the bank’s marketing and public relations efforts had proven to be a great success.

In 1992, Trabuco was again promoted. This time, he was tapped to head up the financial planning division, a business unit that had struggled to gain traction since its establishment in the mid-1980s. Again, Trabuco had a clear vision. One of the first things that he began to implement was a tiered business model. Because clients of higher net worths were responsible for as much as 90 percent of the unit’s revenues, Trabuco immediately moved to establish a separate, elite banking product line for the company’s highest net worth clients. Called Bradesco prime, the high-net-worth banking and advisory product featured segregated, luxuriously appointed facilities as well as such perks as free first-class airline tickets and weekend junkets to five-star resorts.

This model proved to be an outstanding success, with revenues increasing by an order of magnitude. This performance solidified Trabuco’s reputation as a highly skilled administrator as well as an important source in the development of the firm’s vision and strategy.
